the statue by james reeve summary

Answer 1

In this poem , James Reeves describes the sea in 3 different parts of the year.In the 1st para the sea is compared by a metaphor ta a hungry dog. This shows that in the cold winter days the sea is very rough. By the repetition of bones the poet shows us that he is hungry. In the 2nd para the poet now describes the sea to a playful dog . Here the dog is very energetic. While in the third stanza the poet describes the sea as a calm dog.This happens mostly during summer. It lets people enjoy and have fun. The rhythm is not regular such as the mood of the sea.
